Massage in Amsterdam: Client testimonials on receiving a massage healing session after trauma or sexual trauma.

Client testimonials

November 2004: Connie booked the massage session well ahead by e-mail. When reading the client testimonials on this web site she felt: "I gotta have this masseur".

After an hour of the regular session in the hotel room her husband was invited in to help give a 4-hands session. Later on Connie wrote: "My / Our massage was a moment to remember - an experience. Something that's yearned - but rarely achieved. Thanks for the altering touch - it enhanced all and will always be an everlasting mind/body experience. Happy Holidays. Connie, Detroit, MI. - Everyone should experience !!!."

Today I experienced the very first tears of joy... welling up slowly in my closed eyes, tears of abundance, goodness, wholeness, really for the first time in my life. Before that moment I knew only of tears of pain and sorrow. Thank you so much for this experience of opening me up. I felt so full and oceanic and safe.

Jeanne: "Furthermore you have been a key in experiencing my longing and also my reticence through fear. What I intend to say is that you radiate trust and that [in the sessions] certain feelings are allowed to be there, at a time when I was used to keep those feelings inside from fear of being hurt again. To put it in different terms: by your existence I am being born again from my egg and can enter into full bloom" (March, 2007) (wow!),

Michelle D , a 27 year old enterpreneur and very successful businesswoman and moreover petite beauty from Michigan, just by the border between the USA and Canada, read my web site on massage and sent me an email requesting my care during her trip to Amsterdam in 2006. The answer which I sent back to her by email hit the mark and even made her cry in front of her monitor - imagine, making a woman cry 3000 miles away by email! So we had an appointment in Amsterdam. After she rang my doorbell in Amsterdam pure magic happened, events which are not often found in the handbooks of how a massage therapist and a masseur relate to each other. As a therapist I allowed my intuition to guide me to her wounded heart. Our unconventional session and the subsequent hundreds of emails positively changed her life.

"Yes, you have opened many doors for me and I appreciate it so much. I'm also happy you are able to do this for many women. I think through the ages the perception of sex has become dirty - or something you shouldn't enjoy. But sexuality was put here for us TO enjoy! If you can be a catalyst for women in this process - well, let's just say I am very proud of you. Our friendship has no limits or boundaries.

"Do you realize what great gift it was, that you gave to me yesterday? You actively make a significant difference in somebody's life."

Elisabeth, 40 years, November 2011:

"For the one who has fallen under the ice, it is hard to do just that which seems counter-intuitive: for we are set to go towards the light. Under the ice, instead, we need to look for dark spots in order to survive. Making the massage appointment looked just like that: searching for the dark spot, hoping it would bring more lightness within myself.

After having experienced a sexually traumatic situation, I wanted to give myself, on my birthday, an unforgettable experience. In the past I have felt very unsafe and I had trouble aligning my head and my body. I had a hope that my 'thinking' would turn into 'feeling' and I would gain 'knowledge'. Something within me pointed towards Kees. I had visited his web site and read the experiences of other people with their pain on the inside.

And I was not let down. That night Kees has given me a marvelous gift with his healing hands. I have become amazed with myself that night. From that moment onI regularly visit Kees and time and again I experience the healing power of his nurturing hands.
Kees always tunes in to see in what state I am and all that has to surface during the session is welcome. The dark and the light. Thank you, Kees, for switching on the thaw in my body experience, by means of your warm way of being."
